📖What it means

The running lane between one asker and one target in the relay store. A repeat ask to the same person does not open a new thread — it continues the thread as the next CYCLE, so the pair's history reads as one conversation. One thread can carry loops from several topics.

📖Easily confused with

[{"term": "Loop (ARR)", "distinction": "A loop is ONE ask-answer exercise; the thread is the pair's whole lane, numbered in cycles."}, {"term": "Topic", "distinction": "A topic groups loops by SUBJECT; a thread groups them by PAIR."}]

📖Also called

- thread
- relay cycle
